DIY Frog Pin

 

I picked up this insanely large and sparkely frog ring at JCP yesterday. (I was really there for a pair of earrings to match my dress for a wedding we're going to this weekend and the Sephora counter.) It was a completely unnessary spend, but it was marked down to $4.99... and I'm kind of crazy for frogs. Seriously - I've got two statues in my bedroom and the kids know its "mommy's favorite". I nearly did the kid's room in a frog-and-toad theme. Last week my sister surprised me by putting one in my garden that she found at a thrift store. It absolutely made my day.



 

Anyway, the ring was pretty bad. It not only is about 3" long, but it was also made from that elastic material that just feels silly. And with the I put on rings - I can really only wear gold and silver.

So I cut it apart.

Then since I'm also obsessed with pins - I took apart one of those "Kiss Me I'm Irish" pins I had sitting in my jewlery box.

I hot-glued the pin vertically inside the frog and ta-da! A new much more awesome and wearable piece. I'm so excited about it I may wear it every day for a year (which admittedly is probably the next time I'm going to update this blog! I'm trying - I swear. My only excuse is that with a husband, two toddlers, a full time job, pets, friends, family, house repairs, etc.) I have lots of life to live outside of the digital world right now).
